PURPOSE: Children with a solitary testis or kidney are generally advised against contact team sport participation to protect the solitary organ. We performed a review of renal and testis injury cases to ascertain if there was an increased likelihood of significant renal or testis injury in team sports.
CONCLUSIONS: Renal and testis injuries occur with team sports, although at a much lower rate than from other external causes of injury. Most patients ultimately do well without loss of the injured organ. Recommendations against team sport participation may not be necessary in patients with a solitary kidney or testis.
